Former Governor of Abia State and current Chief Whip of the House of Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has explained why he withdrew from the 2023 presidential race.
Kalu, who was gunning for the nation’s number one seat on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, announced his withdrawal decision in a statement he personally signed on Monday.
He hinged his reason on the failure of the two leading political parties to zone their tickets to the South East for justice and fairness.
The statement reads partly, “Since there is no zoning and the contest is open to all Nigerians, I officially withdraw from the presidential contest in 2023. I have also picked the form to run for Abia North Senatorial zone and to complete the good work I started in Abia North
“I urge all my friends, allies and supporters in the APC to toe the line of justice by supporting Senator Ahmad Lawan, a North Easterner for the presidential ticket of the APC.”
